These people all have a cleaning OCD.
Read the puggly thread, 5 part clean.
I must admit they look showroom fresh but get a life.

personally I'd rather have a battered old car than a very shiny new one

something with a few dents and scrapes - it adds character and if you happen to drive and old rally car shows you mean business




I quite liked the landrover my dad had for a year - it came from a big estate up north, and had 110k on the clock. by the looks of it, it had spent most of those miles off road driving through things (hedges, fences, walls, other landrovers )

talk about road presence - you didn't have to do anything and people couldn't get out your way quick enough (pity it only had a half dead 2.5TD and could only manage 50-60mph)

I'm with you - I'd rather keep it mechanically fit and rust-free and USE it, rather than spend a fortune to make it look pretty.

Anyway, I want one of these to play with!


(Or a Hawk replica - I'm not proud)

Why do they call it detailing? Is it so they dont have to admit they clean cars for fun. Ah just kidding - i wouldn't get into that myself but, er, it's nice to know there are people about with that kind of knowledge if you need to call upon it for some reason! Hmmmm - my vauxhall omega could really do with a decent valet. Wonder if they'd do it for free for, like, a training excercise? hee hee
